Grab an oar and climb aboard one of the Indian War Canoesthe ride where
you provide the propulsion.

“Residents” of the
Indian Village invite you to enjoy Native American traditions.

The Indian Village in Disneyland opened in 1955 near Adventureland. In 1956, it
moved to the location that it would occupy until 1971.
With the closing of the Indian Village, the Indian War Canoes became Davy Crocketts Explorer
Canoes.
In 1972, a new land,
Bear Country
(now Critter Country), replaced the Indian Village.
The Indian Trading Post remained the Indian Trading Post until 1989, when
it became the Briar Patch due to its proximity to Splash Mountain.
